Li Yizhi's sudden visit surprised Song Que and others.
Li Yizhi said, "Uncle Song, I have something very important and I want to talk to you alone."
Song Que had some doubts in his heart. He nodded and said, "Then let's go to the Sharpening Hall."
"good!"
Afterwards, Li Yizhi and Song Que left.
Looking at the backs of the two people, Song Zhi and others were puzzled.
He didn't know what the big deal was, but not only did Li Yizhi come in person, but he also had to talk to Song Que alone.
Song Lu tugged on his beard and said thoughtfully, "Do you think it is Li Yizhi who wants to talk about the marriage again? After all, even if he wants to break the void and leave, he must leave behind an heir, right?"
Song Shidao's eyes lit up, and then he shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, no, no. He's fine. He just patted his ass and left. Wouldn't Yuzhi be alone for the rest of his life in the future?"
Song Zhi shook his head, dumbfounded, and said, "You are overthinking, I'm afraid there are other big things going on. Also, Master, please don't tell Yuzhi about Li Yizhi's arrival, lest she start thinking wildly again."
Song Shidao nodded, indicating that he understood.
Sharpening Hall.
This is the place where Song Que practices his martial arts. The space is spacious and there are more than a dozen swords of different shapes hanging on the walls on both sides.
Against the wall on the opposite side, there is a huge stone that is shaped like a stalagmite, dark and smooth, and as high as the human body, adding another indescribable meaning to the already peculiar atmosphere of the grinding hall.
Li Yizhi and Song Que sat cross-legged on the futon, facing each other.
Song Que said in a deep voice, "Yizhi, if you have anything to do, you can tell me now."
Li Yizhi smiled slightly and said, "Uncle Song, I'm here to see you this time about who should succeed me as the emperor after I leave in Wu Po Void."
Song Que frowned and said, "You want me to support your chosen successor? But can you tell me who it is first? Otherwise, you won't have enough prestige to convince the public. Even with my support, it might not work."
The world will be in chaos."
Li Yizhi smiled and did not say who he had chosen, but said, "Actually, I have been thinking about a question during this period of time. Since Qin Shihuang unified the six countries for nearly a thousand years, our Central Plains dynasty seems to be unable to get out of a strange circle.
That is, when the country was founded, the emperor was wise, the country was powerful, and could expand its territory; but at the end of the dynasty, the emperor was mediocre, and either the important officials rebelled, or the people revolted, and a new dynasty was established again, and so on."
Song Que thought about it and said, "All things are born with life and death, and the same goes for dynasties. This is something that no one can stop. Maybe in the future, reincarnation will continue like this."
Li Yizhi did not refute, but continued, "Throughout history, we can find that when dynasties changed, either the emperor was fatuous or the powerful ministers had too much power. If we can prevent these two things from happening, can we avoid it?"
There has been a change of dynasty, and we can break out of that vicious circle."
Song Que was such a smart man, he quickly understood the meaning of Li Yizhi's words.
There was a look of shock in his eyes and he said, "Do you want to restore the abdication system of ancient times?"
Li Yizhi was not prepared to leave any descendants, and would soon be shattered and gone into the void. Therefore, he wanted to ensure that the emperors of all dynasties would not be weak, so he had no choice but to abdicate.
Otherwise, no matter how wise the successor designated by Li Yizhi is, there will definitely still be mediocre people among his descendants in the future.
Li Yizhi nodded slightly and said, "Yes, only by implementing the public world and electing the emperor can we ensure that the emperor is not stupid. However, in order to prevent the public world from turning into a family world again, we must limit the emperor's powers and have a term of office
limit."
Song Que was still shocked in his heart. In fact, the concept of family and world has been around for nearly three thousand years and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Even though Song Que was extremely resourceful and had great ambitions, he never thought of restoring the abdication system.
However, Li Yizhi's words opened another ideological door for him.
If it is true as Li Yizhi said, it may be possible to break out of the cycle of dynastic reincarnation.
He asked in a deep voice, "Yizhi, do you have a comprehensive idea? Otherwise, the situation will be even more chaotic than it is now."
Li Yizhi nodded, and then explained the presidential system in a new way.
The most important idea is the separation of the three powers, as well as the separation of military and political affairs. All parties restrain and cooperate with each other.
As for the election method, it is based on the congresses of later generations, with people from all classes as representatives, so as to take care of the interests of all classes as much as possible.
This explanation took most of the day.
Finally, Li Yizhi said, "That's almost it. Uncle Song, what do you think?"
In fact, he also knew that even if this system was established, the landlord class would still be the dominant one.
But as long as the country is not in chaos and the basic interests of the people are protected, even if it becomes a little poorer, it is still better than having a major chaos every few hundred years.
Moreover, as the country continues to stabilize, productivity will definitely increase rapidly, and people's living conditions will naturally gradually improve.
If a country expands its overseas colonization, the people will also be able to enjoy the dividends.
As for the distant future, it is beyond Li Yizhi's control.
Song Que was still shocked in his heart, because what Li Yizhi said was a very rigorous and complete system that surpassed the knowledge of this era.
After a long time, Song Quecai admired and said, "Yizhi, your system is very strict. I can't find any loopholes for the time being. However, this system is easy to implement but difficult to maintain. If the successor you choose does not have enough
If you lose prestige, or have the ambition to dominate the world, then the world will return to what it is now."
To be honest, he is not optimistic about this system.
Because Song Que searched through all the people under Li Yizhi but couldn't find anyone suitable.
Li Yizhi chuckled and said, "What if it's you, Uncle Song?"
Song Que was shocked. He looked straight at Li Yizhi and said after a long time, "Yizhi, are you serious?"
Li Yizhi nodded and said, "Of course I am serious. I have two considerations. First, and most importantly, Uncle Song, your prestige is enough to convince the world. At the same time, you are also committed to martial arts and will not be greedy for power;
As for the second aspect, I hope that Lingnan can be fully integrated into the new imperial court."
In terms of identity, Song Que is the leader of one of the four great lords in the world; in terms of strength, he is a newly promoted grand master; in terms of strategy, he fought hard against Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, forcing Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty to appoint him as Zhennan Gong and separatize Lingnan.
.
For such a person, if he succeeds to the throne, he will naturally have sufficient prestige and be convinced by the world.
The best thing is that Song Que is determined in martial arts and will not be greedy for power.
Since then, after Song Que's tenure has been over, the various systems in the court have been gradually improved. Even if the next successor is ambitious, it will be difficult to make any big waves in the end.
In addition to the above considerations, Li Yizhi wanted to integrate Lingnan into the new imperial court by choosing Song Que, thereby ending the situation of separatism.
Because the Song family is his staunchest ally, it is impossible for him to ask the Song family to hand over their territory or do anything like burning bridges across rivers.
But if Song Que is the successor, the situation will be different.
Even if it was just to set an example, Song Que would take the initiative to integrate Lingnan into the imperial court.
